I have been waiting for the CGlide since I first heard about it in July, I think it'll be a great phone, but I caved in this weekend when I was able to get a SGII for less than $50. I love it. 4.3" screen is perfect for me. I'm coming from the 1st Torch and when I used the onscreen keyboard, it took way too much screen space, so I welcome the extra room. I think that's why they keep it at 4.3"and the Glide is 4.0."
Actually when using the keyboard, even at a lower size you have more screen space with the CGlide. I just read its releasing this Sunday Nov. 20 for $50 dollars on a 2yr. So you won't be waiting long and personally, I think that's a steal.
